The Old Settler
by John Henry Redwoods
directed by Lorraine Brooks

Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM, Sunday matinees at 2PM
Location: Bowie Community Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse
General Admission – $25.00, Seniors (62+) & Students – $20.00.
In World War II Harlem, New York, a fifty-five-year-old spinster (or as they were called in those days—an Old Settler), Elizabeth Borny, takes in a young male roomer, Husband Witherspoon, to help her with the rent. Husband has come to Harlem from South Carolina to search for his girlfriend, Lou Bessie Preston. Also living with Elizabeth is her sister, Quilly McGrath, fifty-three. There is an ominous cloud of tension that hangs over Elizabeth and Quilly’s relationship. This tension is further exacerbated when Elizabeth and Husband take to liking each other. Quilly, who doesn’t like Husband living with them in the first place, surely doesn’t approve of their “carrying on,” especially since Elizabeth is old enough to be Husband’s mother. It is this “carrying on” that exposes a thirty-year-old wound which, until now, only had a bandage—now the wound can heal for the sisters.

3RDEYE Open Productions Presents:
He Creeps Halloween Edition
by Keith McDaniel Sr
directed by Tia Dae
Sunday, October 29, 2023, at 4pm
Location: Bowie Center for the Performing Arts.
HE CREEPS is a refreshing, comedic perspective on the ups and downs, twists and turns in relationships. Creator Keith McDaniel skillfully presents characters that are relatable, “down to earth,” and gutsy as they express the vulnerability in relationships on stage.
Reviewers and critiques describe and compare HE CREEPS to playwrights like William Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, and Oscar Wilde. HE CREEPS is a new-school approach that uses old-school figures of speech.
Come enjoy the same play, but with Halloween twists that will keep you laughing and on the edge of your seat.

Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms.
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
